We reported on Troy Bayliss’ injuries a couple of weeks ago, including loss of a portion of his little finger on his right hand. Speculation about whether the defending WSB champ would return to racing immediately was answered earlier this weekend when Bayliss showed up for the Valencia WSB round and promptly set quickest time during qualifying before taking pole position during a wet superpole. We shall see how he does during the two races tomorrow, but Bayliss is clearly back on track and capable of winning.
